Finite Element Analysis
SEAT PRIMARY STRUCTURE - 16G
Static Study 16G - frame only - 70.5mm max displacement shown in red, top LH corner
Static Study 16G - with seat pans, 505MPa acceptable leg stress, peak stress on seat belt mounts
cabin interiors - tray table
Client's original preferred internal design producing 78mm displacement and twist under load
Our revised design delivering an acceptable 20mm displacement and no twist
An interim 413 Mpa, down from 2651 Mpa with the original design, but still unacceptable
After internal redesign and interlocking hinge applied, 223 Mpa is well within material tolerance
